The Treasures OF she snow

The Salt Lake Tribune publishes
the following article, which is re-
ferred to the Irrigation Commit
tee:
The coming Spring will be good
time to make estimates of the
amount of water which will run to
waste from the Wasatch range. A
superficial calculation will, we
think, show that if all the snow
piled in the mountains could be
utilized, it would make moisture
enough to give life to every arabic
acre in the Territory and cause it
to produce a full crop. OF course,
to utilize it all or nearly all, is i'm
possible, but the supply generally
used we think might easily be
doubled. This is the most i'm
portant problem Of the great West.
An inch of running water any
where in the West, where it can be
utilized, is worth as much as an
acre of land, and people eager for
land should keep this fact in mind.
1t is better to get 100 acres of land
and 100 inches of flowing water
than to get $50 acres of land with
out the water. The difference can
be estimated by a single example.
On the best natural meadow land,
not more than three cows or oxen
could Obtain a living on ten acres.
But clear off ten acres of average
sagebrush land. plant it in alfalfa
and give it plenty of water, and
sixty tons, or one hundred and
twenty thousand pounds, can be
cut. This would give twelve ami
mails about thirty pounds each
every day in the year. This is
natural desert land we are speaking
of. The same land will yield seven
tons of potatoes to the acre, or
thirty bushels of wheat, while the
oats grown upon it will weigh three
or four more pounds to the busheI
than the oats brought here from
Nebraska. Are not such miracles
worth building reservoirs aud aque-
ducts for? La point OF fact the ag-
riculture of Utah is yet in its in
fancy. and science and money viii
prove that fact in the next twenty
FIVE years.

ANNEXA ION NOTES.

That there has been great
change in the sentiment of the peo-
pie of Idaho on the subject of an
nexation is apparent by the ex-
pressions of the newspapers of
that Territory. This change
has doubtless been wrought
by the fact that the United States
Senate Committee on Territories
has recommended the annexation
Of what is known as the panhandle
of Idaho to Washington Territory.
Speaking of this matter the Wood
River Times, published at HALEY,
Idaho. under date Of February 2,
says editorially:
Luckily for us, Nevada needs us
and badly. She is well govern
ed, her rate of taxation is low COM
pared with ours, she has the ablest
representation Stewart and
Woodburn-of any State IN the
Union, and is anxious to welcome
us. We must take steps to be an
nexed at an early date.
Already petitions are out in this
county PRAYING Congress to permit
the proposed annexation, and they
are being almost unanimously sign
ed. Let them be circulated with
out delay and forwarded to Senator
Jones or to Congressman Wood
burn, and they will see that our
prayer is granted.
There is much to commend an
nexation. By it we would at once
obtain the right of self-government;
we would oe ably represented in
Washington and no longer COM
PEELED to send men there who, de-
MED the right to vote, are mere
nonentities; we would secure many
ether advantages.
In o local item the same paper
states:
About noon today a dispatch re-
questing our Legislators to intro
duce in the Legislature joint
memorial praying fer the annexa-
ton of South Idaho to Nevada, was
sent to Boise. It was signed by
about a dozen prominent citizens,
who happened to be around when
the matter was proposed. The dis
patch will be supported by a petit
ton which is being numerously
signed.
The HALEY News-Miner, which
has been opposed to the annexation
of Idaho to Nevada, begins 10 see
the error of its ways. It now states
that several petitions are being cir
culated in HALEY praying for an
nexation to Nevada, and that the
proposition is gaining strength.

A COLORADO GALE.
It Blows Trains From the Track and Com
mits Other Fantastic Depredations.

DENVER, February ia light wind
storm set in over the entire east portion OF
Colorado at 10 o'clock last night. Its We
locity steadily increased until O'Clock
this morning, when the gale reached sixty
miles an hour and continued until two
O'Clock this afternoon. In Denver many
buildings were unroofed, smokestacks.
chimneys, telephone and telegraph poles
leveled to The ground and plate glass win
dows broken, causing damages of several
thousand dollars. Outside of Denver the
casualties reported are considerably great
er than in this city. On the DeHVer d5
Rio Grande railway, four miles north of
Color ado Springs, every coach. north
bound, on the salt Lake express, consist
ing OF two sleepers, two passenger coaches
baggage and mail car were blown from
track about three O'Clock this morning and
the mail car, with its contents, destroyed
by fire. Had the accident happened while
the train was on the high embanknent a
short ways ahead the loss of life would

ground was perfectly level and 40 one
was injured. A freight train of twenty
cars, side tracked near by waiting for the
express to pass, was also derailed by the
wind and the cars badly damaged. A
passenger train of three coaches on the
Denver & South Park, which left the Un-
ion depot for Morrison at eight o'clock,
was lifted from the track by the terrific
blast and hurled down an eight-foot en-
bankment when about thirteen miles from
this city. One passenger had his leg bro
ken and several others were badly bruised.
Near Como on the same road the Lead
vile express was blown over a bridge and
nearly all the passengers and brakemen
were seriously wounded and the coaches
badly wrecked. All incoming trains on
the various roads were from five to ten
hours late on account of the storm.

HELENA, February 16.-The Indepen-
dent publishes the Congressional Record
account of the episode that occurred III the
senate on the 18th inst, when Senator
Vest raised his objection to the considera-
ton of the Manitoba right Of way bill. It
closes by saying: "To object to the con-
sideration of the bill at a time when the
session was dangerously near the close can
only be construed into an evidence of hos
tility, even had the objection not been
presented so lanely and awkwardly as to
be transparent for the mere purpose of
making captious and dilatory objection;
and to cap the climax, Senator Sabin says
he never authorized Vest to use his name.
When next Senator Vest poses as the
friend Of Montana there will be an incred-
ulous smile, not to say sneer, upon the
faces of those who will remember his ac-
ton on the Manitoba right of way bill.
